Our favorite twill short is back in its feminine, flattering length. Beautifully woven with a hint of spandex for breathable, move-with-you stretch, the clean-line silhouette offers a comfortable fit with a slimming effect.

Cheap thin fabric does not work for shortsI was really disappointed that the fabric for Talbot’s shorts changed from a cotton twill to a thin cotton fabric. Just not sturdy enough for shorts. I wore these shorts a time or two and then washed them. I took them out of the washer and the hem had totally come out of one side. I wished I had returned them before wearing them and now I really wished I had. Cheap,thin fabric and poor construction is beneath you, Talbots. I have been a regular customer since 1988, but I find these days that your products are not what they used to be.

Not a fan of these shortsWhere did the 100% cotton shorts of years ago go? I know it’s just 2% spandex in these shorts but they hug in the stomach and that is not flattering on me. Love the colors and love the pockets - everything else about these shorts are great.

Not like they used to beI bought the same shorts several years ago and *love* them, and wanted to get new colors. Didn't know that they had changed the design to include elastic insets in the women's petite sizes. Definitely prefer WITHOUT the insets. The elastic makes them a little too "mature" for my taste. Wish this would have been noted in the description. Also, when the packaging came, it read 7.5" shorts (I bought petites) which was not the 9" I expected but they indeed are the same length as I previously purchased.

Perfect ShortsI just received two pair of these shorts. I have always worn Talbots 7” shorts. However, as I grow older, I am not as comfortable with that length for going out. The 10 1/2” looks too long on me. At a 5’4” height this length is perfect for me. I just wish I had bought more colors while they were available.

I bought these shorts in a 20 last year and they fit very well. &nbsp;Now you're not offering a size 20. &nbsp;What would be a good substitute in size?

I'm not sure which short I tried on at the store (the girlfriend or perfect short) but, once on, the leg opening looked too wide. &nbsp;Which one of these styles has the narrower leg? &nbsp;

Asked by: shelleygirl53

Overall, the Perfect Short has a smaller leg opening at the hem than the Girlfriend Chino Short,

Asked by: Rita2037

Re the Perfect Short I want to confirm the leg opening for Misses as 21 3/4&quot;. &nbsp; That sounds wide. Looks narrow on model
